Fantastic staff. It was so easy to check in with their app, loved the keyless entry. Felt very safe having the double security of needing the code to get in the building. So close to parliament. Will definitely stay again!

The location was so central, the room had everything we needed and more, it was clean and tidy in the building and inside was very quiet. The street outside could be noisy at times but you expect that being so centrally located in a large city; it did not detract from our stay.

This is a fully automated type of hotel, but it generally went very smoothly. A couple questions to the staff we pleasantly answered. The free luggage storage in the basement was great, and although I didn't see it in the description, the laundry machines were very useful. I enjoyed my stay, and would do so again.

Ok hotel
It is annoying to have to fill up an online form before arriving and having to download their app to checkout. Location was good, spacious apartment, ok overall.

Really good for location, price and quality. Parking a bit tricky, as it is offsite and expensive.

A different hotel experience
First time staying with this brand, and I definitely will again. Nicely appointed, spacious room in a great location. It was nice having a full kitchen with everything needed for preparing food and dining in room. Loved having a balcony which most hotels don’t offer (although there were a couple giant spiderwebs out there and I HATE spiders!). I loved having a door I could open to the outdoors to get some fresh air. A minor communication problem since everything is automated - I wanted to check my luggage for a few hours before catching the train home, but once you check out in their app, your access code to get back into the building disappears (even though it is still active until later in the evening). Eventually I found a staff member who was able to help me and it was an easy fix. I later discovered that the access code is in the check in email that they send you before you arrive and I hadn’t deleted it yet. I didn’t even think to check there because everything is done through their app. Just a minor bump in the experience, but it was my first time staying with Sonder so I will remember that for next time :-)
